GLASS-RETAINING DEVICE FOR SASHES.

Patented Feb. 6, 1906.

Application filed April 3, 1905. Serial No. 263,698.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRISTOPHER COLUM- BUS OHANoEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hartford, in the county of Geneva and State of Alabama, have invented a new and useful Glass-Retaining Device for Sashes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates generally to imrovements in window-sashes, and particuarly to an improved construction of sashes and means of retaining the glass therein, the purpose of which is to provide a very simple and substantial means whereby the use of stiff putty dispenses with glaziers points, the putty not being required to adhere -to the wood, (although it has as much again sticking-surface as by the old method now in use with putty and although shrinking from the wood is prevented by means of a shoulder behind the edge of the glass) and to make ossible the eificient use of putty with t ose.

goods to which it will not permanently ad ere.

The characteristic features of my invention are its simplicity and inexpensive construction, which are hereinafter described and pointed out.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the simplicity and practical ap lication of my invention. The broken fine represents the lower outer extremity of the column of putty, over which the lip portion of the undercut groove of the sash as constructed in my invention extends. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of a window-sash constructed according to my invention.

Referring to the drawings, A indicates the window-sash, and A indicates the lip portion of the sash, holding the pressure of the lip of the putty B constant upon the glass C.

A represents the shoulder portion of the sash upon which the glass C rests. The putty B extends behind and against the glass 0 and forms a shoulder B, the shape of which locks the entire column of putty, and thus prevents its falling should it ever cease to adhere to the wood. The glass C rests upon the shoulder A leaving space for the reception of putty B.

Having now finished a clear description of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- A window-sash having an undercut groovefor the reception of putty, B, behind the glass, 0, under the lip portion A of the sash, A, substantially in the manner and for the purposes, hereinbefore described and set forth.
